In today's episode, we welcome Todd Caponi, a celebrated author and sales leader, who joins us to unravel the profound intersection of professional success and family life. Thanks to Keith Weightman for introducing us to Todd to make today's episode happen. Also, we should give some love to last week's guest (Matt Green), a sales nerd like Todd and me.

Todd's personal anecdotes reveal the unique challenges and rewards of homeschooling his children alongside his wife, while maintaining an influential career in sales leadership. Todd's reflections on his father's charismatic influence in sales and his mother's recent passing bring a personal depth to our exploration of how family shapes one's approach to life and leadership.

Todd does a fantastic job in our conversation as he elaborates on the intrinsic link between transparency in sales and authenticity at home. Learn how embracing vulnerability and setting clear expectations can transform both customer relationships and parenting. In a candid chat, Todd highlights the quirky, enduring skills he picked up from his parents and how these have informed his transparent approach in both his personal life and career. Discover Todd's passionate advocacy for transparency, a theme that not only permeates his bestselling books, "The Transparency Sale" and "The Transparent Sales Leader," but also guides his interactions with his children.

This episode promises inspiration for anyone striving to balance leadership roles at work with equally demanding roles at home. Todd's insights on the decision science of sales, coupled with the life lessons from a parent’s perspective, offer a roadmap for fostering genuine connections whether in a business deal or a family setting.

With a dash of humor, Todd also shares lighter moments—from humorous sales anecdotes to his culinary adventures—adding a relatable dimension to his expertise. Tune in to discover how Todd Caponi turns the art of transparency into a life philosophy that resonates with sales professionals, parents, and leaders everywhere.
